Linder Fall/Winter 2018

February 08, 2018

Tough with a soft touch was the sentiment seen in Linder’s Fall/Winter 2018 Men's season. From the casting to the collection, the designers definitely delivered that delicate dynamicism we know and love about Linder— a concept they've continued to perfect, as proven by each elaborate, elegant presentation. Featuring a beautiful cast of soft-skinned boys bearing brash leather jackets, decked in faded denim and corduroy shirts, the scene felt significantly cinematic, closer to something out of Coppola’s, The Outsiders than traditional couture.

The presentation carried a subtle air of summer camp, speaking to summer streets, noticeably nostalgic in its intricate refrences— each piece presented a faded photograph, fashion with feelings, commentary as much as clothing, which took us to that transitional time— but be wary, with boyhood by Linder, we go back to when bicycles become motorcycles.

This season, a standout in the show was the addition of Linder's new line of accessories— an abstract, and delightfully dichotomous compliment to the collection, which truly came together with the couture twist on colorful earrings, bright beading, common leather goods, and chromatic hardware. Although we weren't aware we had missed them before— these exceptional accessories have added that something special the Linder look we'll never unsee.

Color Composure

May 24, 2019

Let's get one thing straight - rainbow hair is all the rage. While Frank Ocean may have inititiated the frenzy when he dyed his doo green for his 2016 album “Blonde," others have certainly kept the trend afloat. Kanye West has been experimenting with different shades over the last few years, while Kristen Stewart sported neon red hair and yellow eyebrows at this year’s Met Gala.

Creative director and hair colorist Aura Friedman is no stranger to ROYGBIV, often incorporating vibrant hues, bold dye jobs, and gradient streaks into ber body of work--just peep the tiger-stripe look that she gave English artist Patrick Church for New York Fashion Week.

Punk yet soft, masculine yet feminine, is the vibe that Friedman and photographer Marissa Kaiser created for this beauty editorial featuring model and rapper Henry Crawford. What really makes the imagery pop, however, is the juxtaposition of the vibrant rainbow blend Crawford rocks with his icy, stoic glare and bloody tears. With a perfect blending of color, emotion, and flowers, how could you go wrong?

Watch Out, It's Gemini Season

May 21, 2019

“Aren’t we all just aliens on planet earth?” This matching set of extraterrestrial life forms are unlike any other-fierce in fashion and identity, the Dupont Twins are other worldly. in this day and age wrought with monotony and sameness, nothing is more powerful than one who radiates their authentic spirit daringly. These two don’t hold back for anyone.

Love who you are, present yourself boldly, and be honest with your identity. This pair of Gemini’s refuse to be anyone else but themselves, and with personalities this big, why the hell should they? “You have no limits when you are shamelessly your true self," they explained. Self is limitless.

Fashion and Identity cannot be separated, as beauty and life must always flourish side by side. Life cannot exist without beauty. Connecting with your inner beauty and translating this sacred connection with the outside world takes true courage. That's why we linked up with The Dupont Twins, beauty royalty of the generation - check out the full interview below.

Define beauty.

Beauty is hard to define as it is in everything. Anything that we come into contact with that stimulates emotion is beautiful.

What is your mission on Earth?

We really live to inspire people through our work and to show that you have no limits when you are shamelessly you’re true self.

Do you believe in alien life?

Absolutely. After all, from an outside perspective, aren’t we all just aliens on planet earth.

Your work often find the beauty in horror—what are you afraid of?

We are afraid of a world without fashion, who would we be without it.

How do you overcome fear?

You face it.

Name two beauty icons, one living, one dead.

Icon David Bowie and living legend Pat McGrath.

If you could only use one product for the rest of your life, what would it be, and why?

A tinted SPF, our favorite is Laura Mercier, because it gives our skin that perfect boost and protects it.

How do you see yourselves transforming as artists?

We are constantly transforming as artists. As Gemini’s we get bored quickly & are always looking for new things to inspire us.

As gender fluid models, your very existence is a revolutionary act of subversion—what ways have you continued to create positive change?

By never compromising who we are. It sets the tone for not only our community but for everybody else....it shows we deserve to be here just as much as they do.

What is your relationship to fashion?

Fashion is a consistent inspiration for us and our biggest outlet of self expression. Our fashion is our identity.

How do you discover inner beauty?

We can’t tell you how to discover your true beauty but for us, it’s about loving yourself no matter what.

What is your daily regiment?

It changes day to day depending on where we’re going and who we’re seeing. One thing we use a lot of while getting ready is time.

Something you take from each other?

Jake takes all my clothes and Joseph steals all my makeup.

Tell me a secret.

Secrets cost extra.

Word associations: ugly; sexy.

Sexy: a heel. Ugly: flats.

2019 prediction?

We have a feeling we’ll be taking over some new cities this year as well as working with some of the greats...stay tuned.

Rise of Another

May 19, 2019

Ideals of beauty are a fickle beast. The Egyptian court had their heavy wigs and body makeup, the Mayans their bejeweled teeth, the Japanese geishas their painted white faces and complex hairdos, the Northern European Renaissance their fleshy pink muses. I often wonder if there is such a thing as universal beauty, and if so, how do we define it?

In case you haven’t noticed, ideals of beauty are in flux these days. The youth are questioning old standards of skeletal malnutrition and Eurocentric skin tone as the go-to look for all things fashion and aspiration. And why shouldn’t we? It’s odd that in an era of plenty, restriction seems the only avenue to health and bodily splendor.

office wondered: what does it look like, instead of always telling yourself “No,” to say, with triumph, with hubris, with chutzpah, “Yes, yes, hell yes”?

It was in this spirit that we photographed models Agusta, Sam, Tash, Cait, Alva, Kinjhi, and Danielle (pictured above), and gave them a small set of questions to answer by hand—questions not only every model certainly must consider while under the cold gaze of the camera lens, but what every modern woman, man, and non-binary internally asks herself, himself, and themself.
